Marketplace and Apps

Effective Date: November 30th, 2023

At a glance:

Welcome to Rocket.Chat Marketplace. Our Marketplace and Apps Terms and Conditions “Marketplace Terms” apply to all users of Rocket.Chat Marketplace and Apps.

Customers who utilize our Marketplace and install and enable either Rocket.Chat apps or third-party apps agree to comply with the Marketplace Terms. These Marketplace Terms are an addition to the Customer Terms of Service that apply to the Rocket.Chat Marketplace as part of the Customer Terms. In case of any conflict between the Marketplace Terms and the Customer Terms, the Customer Terms of Service shall take precedence.

Please note that Customers are solely responsible for ensuring they have read, understood, and agreed to any app and third-party app they install and enable from the Rocket.Chat Marketplace.

Orders.

You can place Orders on the Marketplace. Your Order will identify the Vendor, your authorized scope of use of the App, and license or subscription term, as applicable. Once you complete your order or enable or install the App, Rocket.Chat will provide you with access to the applicable Apps.

Third-Party Apps.

For any Third Party App, you agree that Rocket.Chat is the Vendor’s commercial agent, and you are required to make any related payments directly to Rocket.Chat, except where Third-Party Apps may be enabled or paid for through a third-party Vendor’s own website.

App Licensing.

Apps are provided on a license, one-time paid, or subscription basis, and you do not acquire any ownership rights in the Marketplace or the Apps. Rocket.Chat reserves the right to offer exclusive apps for certain plans.

Term and Termination

4.1 Agreement Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) will begin on the Effective Date and continue until the Agreement is terminated as stated in Section 4 (Term and Termination). Users may discontinue their use of the Marketplace or any Vendor Product. If such a situation occurs, Users must meet all financial obligations as specified in the Ordering Document, including the payment of all applicable fees. Upon termination, Users must cease using the relevant Vendor Products.

4.2 Termination for Cause. In the event of a material breach or any other grounds for termination for cause, as outlined in the Termination for Cause section of the Customer Terms of Service, either party reserves the right to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice, in accordance with applicable law.

4.3 Effect of Termination. If the Agreement is terminated, then (a) all rights and access to the Marketplace and Vendor Products will terminate, unless otherwise described in this Agreement, and (b) all Fees owed by Customer to Rocket.Chat are immediately due upon the Customer’s receipt of the final electronic bill or as set forth in the final invoice. If the Agreement terminates before the end of any outstanding subscription term for any Subscription Product for any reason other than Rocket.Chat’s uncured material breach in accordance with the Agreement, all unpaid Fees remaining for the duration of the subscription term will become due and payable upon termination.

4.4 Termination of Trials. The Marketplace may also offer free trial periods for Apps. After the expiration of the trial period, if you do not place an Order or install and enable the App, the App will cease to function, and you must cease using and delete your copies of the App.

Marketplace Disclaimers and Liability

Except as expressly provided for in the Terms, Rocket.Chat does not make and expressly disclaims to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (a) any warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular use, title, noninfringement, or error-free or uninterrupted use of the Marketplace and (b) any representations or warranties regarding any Vendor Products, including any representations or warranties, even if Rocket.Chat has reviewed, certified, or approved the Third Party App. Vendors are solely responsible for the services, information and any related content or materials included in the Apps and services they provide (i) related to the performance, functionality, or security of any Vendor Products or (ii) that any Vendor Product listings in the Marketplace are accurate or up-to-date.

Rocket.Chat makes no guarantee that any Apps will work properly with Rocket.Chat Products as they change over time.

App Listing

The listing for each App will identify the App provider (“Vendor”), which may be Rocket.Chat or a third party. Apps for which Rocket.Chat is the Vendor is "Rocket.Chat Apps,” and Apps for which the Vendor is a third party are “Third Party Apps”.
